The Girlock Alloy calipers are those that people often stick on LHs and LXs are they not? Because I am considering that modification personally.

The question I often ask is why ?
If your doing it for more pad compound choice then OK
If your doing it cause you have wear in the guide pin areas of the alloy PBR then OK.
If your doing it just cause they are alloy and you have the cast iron PBR I see no improvement.
If you think there is a performance increase by using that caliper then no.

I was thinking of the range of pad compounds and performance, I didn't realise that they didn't improve that, thanks mate.

"If you think there is a performance increase by using that caliper "
SEE
"If your doing it for more pad compound choice then OK

It's all relative.
